Running the system linked, and running 4GB's is lot to ask from the system.

Raising the fsb to memory ratio will put stress on the cpu, running the extra load of memory will put stress on the memory controller.

I would leave it unlinked (for now) and set the latencies to 9-9-9 (ELK speeds) and clock up the fsb slowly until it maxes out. This way you know what you're working with and where your memory will max out. Once you figure that out then go back and run it linked and clock it linked from there. Again running 8GB and unlinked is tough to do, eand easy to max out.
